Re: Normalise left and right channels independently?

The real Q is: if this is a mixed/balanced stereo file, why would you want to un-balance it by changing the relative levels?

Now I expect that you will say something like; Oh but I recorded one voice on the left and the other on the right. One sounds kinda ok but the other is totally at -10,000dB. Consider: if that is the case and you change whilst keeping both in the same file (stereo Wav or mp4) there will be other issues added when the two sides become even less naturally matched.

You need to separate these L & R channels into two discrete Tracks. Depending on your DAW (and abilities) that could be via:
  • Routing the Left to a Mix Channel and the Right to another Mix Channel...
  • Use something like Audacity (or even your own DAW if it has such a feature) to create a pair of Mono Wav Files that you import to different tracks in your DAW...
...and processing appropriately. Always keeping in mind how they sound together.
